Full Description
A rectangular banked and ditched enclosure of possible Iron Age or Romano-British date, is visible as cropmarks and earthworks on aerial photographs. It is located on the summit of a hill just north-west of Hampton Plantations and is approximately 259m x 156m in size. Several enclosures (MDO21692-94) are located within this feature and may be contemporary with it or perhaps represent earlier or later phases of use. Two other enclosures (MDO21691 and MDO21698) are located to the north and south of this one and are probably contemporary with it. It has been disturbed by post-medieval chalk pits (MDO21257) in some places. {1-4}
